How does lateral entry into social work work?
The lateral entry to social work is based on practical experience. Practically all training and continuing education, further training in the social sector requires relevant work experience or an internship of at least 800 hours or approx. one year part-time. This is to ensure that your expectations of this field of work are realistic and that you know whether you are suitable for dealing with people in difficult life situations on a daily basis.
Which activities are counted as professional experience depends on the desired continuing education, further training. In principle, it must be activities, tasks and areas of responsibility that are also part of the job description of the continuing education, further training. Depending on the continuing education, further training, the school management, the professional association or the body responsible for the federal examinations will decide whether an activity is counted as professional experience for admission to the course.
